Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a manual rice sharpener. When rice is sharpened by putting it in an inner pot of a rice cooker, the rice sharpening can be performed without putting a hand in the sharpening juice, and the rice sharpening is finished. When cutting, the sharpening juice can be cut almost completely without spilling rice.

In conventional rice sharpeners, when rice is sharpened in a pan or inner pot, in order to cut the sharpening juice, the pan or inner pot is tilted with a palm or transferred to another container. It was. Also, when cutting the sharpening juice, it was necessary to cut the sharpening juice gently and slowly from the top of the pot or inner pot. Some also used monkeys.
Moreover, in order to improve these problems, for example, a rice sharpener as in Patent Documents 1 to 3 has been proposed.

In the rice sharpeners described in each of the above patent documents, it was possible to pour out only the sharpening juice without spilling rice grains, but the structure was complicated and the handling was inconvenient.
For rice sharpening, water is poured into the container and washing is repeated 4 to 5 times. However, when the container is skewed and the sharpening juice is discarded, sometimes the rice also flows out of the container. Moreover, since the number of times of rinsing increases, the amount of water used also increases.

The manual type rice sharpener according to the present invention is a plate-shaped main body that completely covers the opening of the inner pot, a semicircular hole formed in the plate-shaped main body, and an entire surface of the opening of the semicircular hole. A net for draining the sharpened soup so that it does not spill, and a stirrer that has an operation handle at the outer end and stirs the rice grains at the inner end, provided through the central part of the plate-shaped main body. A manual rotary shaft having a rod,
An arc-shaped receiving portion for supporting the inner hook is provided in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the inner pot opening at the half-moon-shaped peripheral edge portion of the half-moon-shaped hole, and the side on which the arc-shaped receiving section is set up is provided. The edge of the plate-shaped main body is used as an inner pot support for the sink when the sharpening juice is cut while tilting the inner pot.

According to the rice sharpening device of the present invention, the action of the rice sharpening becomes easy and the rice sharpening can be efficiently performed in a short time. In addition, since the rice grains hit the mesh and only the sharpened juice comes out of the container, the number of washing is reduced, so the amount of water used is also reduced.
In addition, when the sharpening juice is cut, only the sharpening juice can be discharged easily and quickly without the rice grains flowing out. Moreover, since the arc-shaped receiving portion is provided, it can be used regardless of the size of the inner hook and can be applied to a wide range.
Also, in the winter season, you can sharpen rice without turning your hands on cold soup, just by turning the stirrer, and without having to feel cold.
Moreover, since this rice sharpener can also be made into an assembly-type structure, it can be easily stored when not in use.
In addition, since the structure is simple, it does not cost and can be manufactured at low cost.

Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
Embodiment 1
The rice sharpener in Embodiment 1 of this invention is comprised as follows.
A half-moon-shaped hole 2a is formed in a square plate-like main body 2 having a size that covers the opening 1a of the inner pot 1, and the sharpening juice is applied so that rice grains do not spill over the entire opening of the half-moon-shaped hole. A draining net 3 for cutting is pasted, and a through hole 2b for penetrating the manual rotary shaft 5 is provided at a substantially central portion of the plate-like main body 2. An operation handle 5a is provided at the outer end of the manual rotary shaft 5. Are provided detachably, and a plurality of stirring rods 5b are provided at the inner end.

At the peripheral edge of the half-moon-shaped hole 2a, an arc-shaped receiving portion 4 that supports the inner hook by abutting against the outer edge of the opening 1a of the inner hook 1 when the rice sharpening is drained is provided. It is installed.
The horizontal edge of the plate-like main body 2 facing the arc-shaped receiving portion 4 on the side where the arc-shaped receiving portion is erected is supported to the sink 6 when the inner pot 1 is tilted and the sharpened juice is cut. It functions as the part 2c.

The manual rotary shaft 5 is configured to be detachable from the plate-like main body portion 2 by a rotary shaft-side bearing portion 5c and a plate-like main body portion-side bearing portion 5d, and several stirring rods 5b are shown in FIG. In this way, it protrudes in the longitudinal direction with respect to the manual rotary shaft 5.
In addition, the half-moon-shaped hole 2a and the draining net 3 constitute a draining portion 23 by a fine net so that the rice grains do not spill when the rice is sharpened.

Next, a method of using the rice sharpener configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 5, (a) is a state where rice and washing water are poured into the inner pot and placed on the table 6.
In this state, the arc-shaped receiving portion 4 is brought into contact with the outer edge portion of the opening 1a of the inner hook 1 to position the inner hook 1. In this state, the operation handle 5a is manually rotated to sharpen the rice.
When the first rice sharpening is completed, as shown in FIGS. 5B to 5C, the inner hook 1 and the plate-like main body 2 are sandwiched with both hands, and the inner hook is supported by the arc-shaped receiving portion 4. Drain the sharpening juice while tilting 1.
This operation is repeated several times to complete the rice sharpening.

At the time of draining, the inner hook 1 is prevented from being displaced by the arc-shaped receiving part 4 and the inner hook support part 2c at the edge of the plate-like part of the plate-like main body part 2 is in contact with the bottom surface of the sink 6. And is held in a stable state.
In addition, the rice that has been sharpened is poured back into the inner pot when water is poured from above.
